Machine protection glass - available
in any size
SICURTEC_PURE polycarbonate viewing windows, made of highly-resistant and highly-elastic polycarbonate, are the basic requirement for machine safety windows for lathes, milling machines, machining centers (CNC) and grinding machines.
Thanks to its enormous resistance, this machine protection glass protects employees and the inventory from workpieces or fragments that would be thrown out of the working space in the event of an accident. Furthermore, it is highly transparent and offers a clear view of all manufacturing processes. However, studies have shown that polycarbonate is not permanently resistant to the influence of coolants and shavings. A contact reduces the retention capacity and visual transparency within a short time. If coolants and shavings occur in the manufacturing process, we recommend our products SICURTEC_AIR and SICURTEC_GUARD, as they are insensitive to such influences.
Our polycarbonate viewing windows are tested, certified and have a lot more advantages to offer
Important standards
A machine safety window far beyond the norm
SICURTEC® machine safety windows were developed to push the limits of puncture resistance further up. The relevant standards only serve SICURTEC® as a guide. In fact, the relevant characteristics of SICURTEC® products are in some cases far above the level set by standards.
- EN ISO 23125 (EN 12415 lathes)
- EN 16090-1 (machining centres)
- EN 13218 (grinding centres)
- The standard for lathes EN ISO 23125 ends at 8,000 joules, SICURTEC® builds elements that have been tested up to over 16,000 joules.
Replacement info
The fact is: Machine safety windows can lose their retention capacity. They become brittle. The unprotected contact with cooling lubricants and unsuitable cleaning agents speeds up the process many times over. It is therefore necessary to protect the polycarbonate. The graphic below clearly shows how this protection affects the longevity.
Window replacement every 5 years
Laminated polycarbonate safety glass, gluing in a stainless steel frame or edge protection with aluminum tape or NBR rubber profiles protect polycarbonate against rapid aging. Nevertheless, the German BIA as well as the VDW and IWF recommend to replace machine safety windows after 5 years. Pure polycarbonate windows at least every 2 years!
When to replace windows immediately:
- Deformation (bulging) of the polycarbonate due to an impact
- Leaky edge seal
- Coolant is between the various components
- Destruction or damage to one of the window sides
- Ideal for all high-speed machine tools
- Protects employees from serious injuries
- Protects the inventory from costly damage
- Perfect view of all manufacturing processes
- Available in various sizes
- Available at very short notice
- Special solutions possible
Frame systems for perfect sealing of the machine safety window
Chemical influences, such as contact with cooling lubricants, can cause considerable damage to machine safety windows. Unless, for example, the window with glass is glued into a stainless steel frame. As a all-round provider, we provide you with three standard frame profiles with L, Z and S profiles. Due to the product flexibility, all three profile types can be adapted to any pane thickness according to the desired retention effect. Same applies to frames, which are developed by us especially to customer requirements and which are produced as already glued and finished elements.
Further edge protection
Are you using an existing frame profile? No problem. The options NBR and ALU are compatible with every frame profile.
